Prevalence, patterns, and determinants of multimorbidity in South Africa
Background Multimorbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa is under researched and includes distinct disease combinations to those seen in high income countries. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and distribution of multimorbidity in South Africa, as well as the associated individual, area-level and contextual factors. Methodology Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted on nationally representative 2016 South Africa Demogr…
Epidemiology and risk factors for ovarian cancer incidence in the USA
Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) has the worst prognosis and highest death rate of all gynaecological cancers in the USA. We examined the independent effects of individual-, neighbourhood-, and state-level factors on ovarian cancer incidence using a multilevel analytical framework. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed de-identified data from the All of Us research database, identifying women ≥18 years without prior ovarian canc…
Is reproductive agency associated with subjective well-being? A population-based cross-sectional study among men and women in four sub-Saharan African countries using the World Values Survey
We investigated the association between reproductive agency (RA) and subjective well-being (SWB) in Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe using cross-sectional research design. We used nationally representative data from the World Values Survey from 2017 to 2021 (N = 4948). SWB used four items on perceived: (i) life satisfaction (range 1-10), overall life agency (range 1-10), health status (range 1-5), and happiness (range 1-4). RA used one item…
Ethnic-Specific Threshold Analysis and BMI and Waist Circumference Cutoffs for Cardiovascular Disease and Subjective Wellbeing
Objectives We aimed to identify ethnicity-specific BMI and waist circumference cutoffs for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and to define optimal thresholds for CVD risk and subjective wellbeing (SWB) through predictive modelling, to inform precise public health initiatives. Methods We used data from 296,767 UK Biobank participants and adjusted logistic and linear regression models for CVD and SWB, respectively, complemented by receiver operating cha…
Risk factors for newly-developed cardiovascular disease and quality of life during the Covid − 19 pandemic
Ethnicity was not associated with newly-developed CVD but was associated with quality of life. Other factors of importance include age, depression, gender, and physical activity. Findings are informative for future risk stratification and treatment strategies, especially while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing
Attitudes towards domestic violence in 49 low- and middle-income countries
BACKGROUND: Violence against women by an intimate partner (DV) is a serious public health and human rights issue. Attitudes justifying DV strongly predict its perpetration and victimisation. This paper presents gendered ecological analyses of the societal acceptance of DV in 49 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across geographical regions. METHODS AND FINDINGS: We utilised data from 49 Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2005 …
Magnitude and pattern of hypertension in the Niger Delta
Global, Regional, and National Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases for 10 Causes, 1990 to 2015
BACKGROUND: The burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remains unclear in many regions of the world. OBJECTIVES: The GBD (Global Burden of Disease) 2015 study integrated data on disease incidence, prevalence, and mortality to produce consistent, up-to-date estimates for cardiovascular burden. METHODS: CVD mortality was estimated from vital registration and verbal autopsy data. CVD prevalence was estimated using modeling software and data from h…
